💫 “Even on the coldest trail, a warm heart can change everything.”
The winter winds return to the American frontier — and with them, a past not yet finished.
Years after guiding five young Chinese girls to safety, Print Ritter (Kevin Costner) has settled into a quiet life on his isolated ranch. But peace is a fragile thing out West. When a violent blizzard sweeps through the territory, Ritter discovers a half-frozen young woman, Eliza Hart (Isabel May), hiding in the wreckage of an overturned stagecoach. She is wounded, terrified… and being hunted.
With the storm closing in, Ritter makes a choice that pulls him back into the world he once walked away from. Enlisting the help of his old partner Tom Harte (Sam Elliott, in a soulful return), the two men set out to protect Eliza from the ruthless gang pursuing her — a band of killers tied to a long-buried chapter in Ritter’s own past.
Meanwhile, Kate (Hilary Swank), now a fiercely independent ranch owner and community leader, finds her life upended when Ritter rides back into town with danger on his heels. Old wounds reopen, old sparks reignite, and together they must navigate both a rekindled bond and a threat that grows deadlier with every snow-filled sunrise.
Across icy plains, abandoned mining camps, and frozen mountain passes, the trio fights to stay ahead of the men closing in — men who will stop at nothing to reclaim what Eliza escaped with. As secrets unravel and gunfire echoes through the winter silence, Ritter faces a brutal truth: saving this young woman may be his final chance at redemption.
When Christmas Eve arrives, it brings not comfort, but a showdown in a ghost town buried beneath fresh snow — a clash of past sins, present loyalties, and the enduring hope for forgiveness.
THE BROKEN TRAIL: A SNOWFALL OF MERCY (2025) is a sweeping, emotional, winter-set Western that celebrates courage, healing, and the family you choose on the long road home.
